Title: Catalytic conversion of bio-mass derivable aliphatic alcohols to valuable alkenes or oxygenates

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1568389
;

Disclosed is a method for producing, among others, alkenes and/or saturated or unsaturated oxygenates and, which include at least one of an aldehyde and an acid, comprising subjecting the corresponding C3 to C5 aliphatic alcohols that are derivable from biomass, to a vapor phase process over the catalytic system in the presence of a gas mixture of oxygen, air or nitrogen and/or other suitable diluting gas. The catalyst system comprises multi-catalytic zones, in each of which the composition of the co-feed and other reaction parameter can be independently controlled.
